The Battle of Moscow?

The Battle of the Crimea?

The Battle of Stalingrad?

The Battle of Kursk?

Nice site! Thanks!

Though a careful reading has revealed a couple of instances in which they like to exagerate and 'color' things just a little. Not changing the eyewitness accounts, which are great, but in the additional explanations they supply.

Nice thing about websites like that is they can be added too fairly easily (as compared to say an encyclopedia) and we do have Russians and Germans on this board who i'm sure could provide that stuff.
